1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundSuper-resolution microscopy has enabled high-resolution imaging of the actin cytoskeleton in megakaryocytes and platelets. These technologies have extended our knowledge of thrombopoiesis and platelet spreading using megakaryocytes and platelets cultured in vitro on matrix proteins. However, for better understanding of megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet production, high-resolution imaging of cells in an in vivo bone marrow microenvironment is required. Development of Kawamoto's film method greatly advanced the techniques of thin cryosectioning of hard tissues such as undecalcified bones. One obstacle that remains is the spherical aberration that occurs due to the difference in the refractive index for the light path, limiting the usage of Kawamoto's film method to lower magnification observation.

objectivesTo overcome the weakness of the conventional Kawamoto's film method for higher magnification observation of undecalcified bone marrow.

methodsWe have modified the original method with a very simple method: flipping the film at the step of mounting the sections on the glass. RESULTS AND

conclusionsThis new method successfully led to the adjustment of the refractive index and enabled super-resolution imaging of megakaryocytes in undecalcified mouse femurs. Our modified method will expand the application of Kawamoto's film method and enable precise analysis of megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet production in the bone marrow microenvironment under pathophysiological conditions.
